Circus Freaks & Sideshows

collage by Leslie Morgan & assemblage by Dianne Hoffman

Description

Inspired by the sights, smells, sounds and showmanship of carny culture, “Circus Freaks and Sideshows” portrays the whimsical, wide-eyed enchantment encountered under the Big Top intertwined with the shadowy mysteries and hardships of a life on the fringe of society. Nostalgic memories of a traveling show and its cast of compelling characters are recalled using the mixed media ephemera of Leslie Morgan's collage series and salvaged found objects in Dianne Hoffman's assemblage work.

Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, May 17th 7-9 pm.
